Well I will be making a portal cake every week until I get it exactly right- from scratch no cake mix used. Can post recipe if required- I think its a good first attempt.... if you have done better post pics and how you did it! NB I made this with the help of my good friend michael- incase he sees this and thinks I dont give him credit *
